About
Code Platoon
Code Platoon seeks to:
- Lower Barriers to Entry: Traditional boot camps cost $10k or more, but our sponsors and corporate partners help make this an affordable option for Veterans and military spouses.
- Challenge Assumptions: We believe veterans and military spouses have what it takes to become a developer, even if they don't identify as a techie.
- Raise Awareness: The veteran community brings a lot of value to the workplace, as well as many benefits to the employer.
